Description

I am using the non-microsoft store version of Files App,
Installed it an hour ago.

All was working fine, a bit slow, but still working.
Until I tried going to directories from the CMD.

I read from a previous issue that there was a cmd command to use Files app
#6558 (comment)

Now the app is unresponsive and loads nothing except the default tags
Re-starting the app also does not fix the issue.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Have Files open
  2. Try out the following cmd commands (don't know which is actually the faulty one)
    2.1. files.exe
    2.2. files.exe -Directory "..." (replace ... with a directory)
    2.3. files.exe -select "..." (replace ... with a directory)
  3. re-open files

Requirements

I expect one of the above commands to work, as I believe this was implemented from a previous issue.
I expect Files to load correctly.
